2017 Intercontinental GT Challenge


The 2017 Intercontinental GT Challenge will be the second season of the Intercontinental GT Challenge. The season features four rounds, starting with the Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour on 5 February and the season concludes with the Sepang 12 Hours on 10 December. Laurens Vanthoor is the defending drivers' champion and Audi is the defending manufacturers' champion.

In contrast to the inaugural season, manufacturers no longer need to enter their cars separately. In 2017, as long as they hold an international licence, all cars and drivers entered in the overall GT3 class, together with the manufacturers in the overall GT4 class are automatically eligible to score points towards the titles.

Championship points were awarded for the first ten positions in each race. Entries were required to complete 75% of the winning car's race distance in order to be classified and earn points, with the exception of Bathurst where a car simply had to cross the finish line to be classified. Individual drivers were required to participate for a minimum of 25 minutes in order to earn championship points in any race. A manufacturer only received points for its two highest placed cars in each round.

The results indicate the classification relative to other drivers in the series, not the classification in the race. For unknown reasons some drivers were ineligible to score points. It is unknown which drivers that did not score points for the championship were ineligible to score points.
